The likely cause here is that the .ZIP files have failed to build on
R-forge for whatever reason. Since John is using Windows, he won't
likely be compiling them from source. Perhaps somebody can take a look
at the R-forge Windows build logs for these two packages and figure out
what the build issue on Windows is.
